New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Blending acoustic rock with equal parts blues and funk, singer-songwriter Jordan Carroll's new single, "You Know That I Know," released today. Carroll's voice -- a soulful tenor that has been compared to that of Adam Levine and transitions seamlessly from smooth falsetto to full-bodied with just the right amount of grit -- builds with the emotion of "You Know That I Know" until he unleashes the full force of his vocals in the song's sultry, languid bridge. Utterly original yet somehow reminiscent of every night spent in a dark, intimate lounge, "You Know That I Know" manages to exalt and condemn love (or maybe just desire) in the same breath.
"You Know That I Know" comes on the heels of Carroll's self-headlining 2014 European tour. The single is one of 10 new songs the singer wrote late last year, so fans can look forward to plenty of new material from the rising star: His next album is already recorded, and additional singles will be released over the next year.
Not one to stay idle, Carroll is already back in the studio. The 23-year-old began his music career at 17 in Phoenix and has worked steadily in the years since. He now has a West Coast tour and two European tours under his belt, a loyal and rapidly growing fan base, and a seemingly endless supply of songwriting material, if the first prolific six years of his professional life are any indication.
Music lovers new to the indie sounds of Jordan Carroll will enjoy exploring his music at Jordan Carroll Music, ReverbNation, iTunes, SoundCloud, Jango Radio, and Bandcamp. With "You Know That I Know" and the rest of the songs on the upcoming album, Carroll has really come into his own as a songwriter and as a vocalist. He is comfortable refining his sound, with strong vocals and lyrical choices that speak to something in each of us. Carroll's music transcends genres, drawing at will from rock, folk, pop, blues, jazz, and funk to produce a sound that compels the listener to put him on repeat and let him do his thing.
Early reviews of "You Know That I Know" are promising. Robbie Tee of JamSphere wrote that "You Know That I Know" is "a fully realized song that takes you on an artful journey, with the highest of highs and wretched lows of love wrapped all inside its storyline - sometimes at the same time... Jordan Carroll has the kind of voice that tears into the passion, pain and ecstasy of living and loving."
"You Know That I Know" will be available everywhere today, Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2015. To receive updates, go to Jordan Carroll Music and join the mailing list. Mailing list members will receive advance notice on new releases, tour dates, and other Jordan Carroll news.

In 2014, he released "Yours to Keep" as a single, which can now be found on Pandora. Carroll has drawn comparison to Ryan Adams, among others, for his blues and alt-country sound, which respects the past while charting new directions.
